If they would start doing i.e. encrypted web proxying, it would be  
impossible to see the final destination with a DPI solution ie.  
(Procera Networks PacketLogic or packeteer). If the proxying is not  
encrypted, atleast the Procera box can identify the final destination.

The normal solution to this is simply to disallow all proxying, and in  
the real world, there are very few people who has the know-how to  
proxy their Youtube traffic, so it usually is never a problem.
